I spent many hours investigating the Microsoft agents (that's how Clippy and his gang were called => Genius, Einstein, Ridondo, Rocky, etc.) and I learned how, using macros, they could be made to talk, move and interact with questions for Mark and other crazy things that occurred to me.

Why deprive users of this? Why make my research hours go to the water? If someone did not like to use or see the agents, it would have been easy to come hidden by default but not remove the functionality.

''Clippy is flattered by all the attention but plans to continue his retirement.''
This is the typical type of generic garbage the MS has been using to respond to its customers desires and needs. What is the point of having a page set up so that customers with ideas to make the company better if the people working at MS aren't going to listen to those ideas? But alas, perhaps the employees working at admin only care about themselves? What a revolutionary concept! As your loyal customers, what WE want is most important. There is nothing wrong with the clippy sticker pack, in fact, I would be more willing to stay a Microsoft user if the people, I mean soul less, cold hearted, unloving, uncaring robots, that work at MS admin would simply help bring back this adorable, funny, and quite nostalgic sticker. They act as if clippy is a spawn of the devil and has some sort of crude, evil humor to him, when in all actuality, it was just the way that people used it that made it "wrong".So until you bring back clippy, ********, Microsoft.
